for the position of
Controller
The Housing Authority of the
County of Santa Clara
The Organization
The Housing Authority of the County of
Santa Clara (HACSC) was established in
1967 by the Santa Clara County Board of
Supervisors, to operate as an independent
local government agency to administer the
federal rental assistance programs authorized
by the United States Housing Act. Since 1976,
HACSC has operated the federal rental
assistance programs of the County of Santa
Clara and the City of San José as one program.
In 2008, Congress designated HACSC a
Moving to Work (MTW) demonstration
agency. Since then, HACSC has achieved
the notoriety of being the first housing authority in the nation to earn a “Strong Performer” ranking by Standard
& Poor’s, the highest designation given to public agencies.
The HACSC organizational structure consists of an
Executive Director, a Deputy Executive Director/
General Counsel, a Chief Financial Officer/Director
of Finance, and Director of Housing who collectively
oversee a team of 130 employees in a wide range
of professional and administrative positions. The
staff of this well-managed, dynamic organization
operates in a cohesive, team-oriented fashion and
are committed to the mission of HACSC. The team
is dedicated to providing and inspiring affordable
housing solutions to enable low-income people in
Santa Clara County to achieve stability and selfreliance.
The Position and the Ideal
Candidate
The position of Controller reports to the Chief Financial
Officer/Director of Finance and serves as a key business
partner and member of the management team. The
Controller also performs a strategic role in assisting
with the overall financial management for the Housing
Authority and manages the day-to-day operations
of the Finance Department, consisting of 16 finance
professionals, a cohesive organization of team players,
who work well together and consider the agency’s
mission their calling.
The agency assists approximately 17,000 households through the federal rental housing assistance (Housing
Choice Voucher, also known as Section 8) program. The agency is also charged with control and management
of affordable rental housing properties. The majority of program funding comes from the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Programs and properties are targeted to assist low, very low and
extremely low-income households. More than 80% of client households are extremely low-income families,
seniors, veterans, persons with disabilities and the formerly homeless. Working together with landlords, housing
developers, charities and local governments, the agency strives to provide housing and support services to as
many eligible families as possible.
HACSC operates under the mission “to provide and inspire affordable housing solutions to enable low-income
people in Santa Clara County to achieve
financial stability and self-reliance.” As a
MTW demonstration agency, they also strive
to meet the following three MTW statutory
goals established by Congress:
♦ Decrease administrative costs and
increase cost effectiveness in housing
program operations,
♦ Promote participants’ economic selfsufficiency, and
♦ Expand participants’ housing choices.
Please see the HACSC website (www.hacsc.
org) for more information.
The Controller enjoys a key, challenging role in leading the financial operations of a successful, impactful agency.
The position is also critical in the modeling of innovative use of federal funds in the Section 8 program, leveraging
funds and community partnerships to develop new
affordable housing and preserve existing affordable
housing. A participative, collaborative management
style will allow the Controller to engage, become
involved, and foster a team environment, prioritizing
integrity and ethical standards towards agency goals
and objectives.
The desired experience would include a minimum of
seven years of increasingly responsible management
experience in financial management, accounting, and
financial reporting. A Master’s degree in Finance,
Accounting, Business Administration, or related
field is required. A current CPA certification is
